RTE star Ray D'Arcy has broken his silence over RTE paying his colleague Ryan Tubridy €345,000 more than was previously declared - saying "it's a terrible mess".
The radio and TV host joined a host of other RTE stars in revealing his salary, saying he agreed to take a 15 per cent pay cut in 2019 when he was asked to.
D'Arcy, who was paid €450,000 back in 2019, then earned fees of €305,000 in 2020 and 2021, and now earns €250,000 per year.

He said: "This is a terrible mess. On a human level I feel for the people involved but also share the feelings of anger and disappointment of many people around the country and in RTE.
"For the record, I haven’t got an agent.
"All of my salary figures to date have been reported correctly.
"When asked, I agreed to take a more than 15 per cent cut in 2019.
"My current salary is €250,000."
Meanwhile, RTE is to publish "as much as possible" of an external review into undisclosed payments made to Tubridy over the past three years on Tuesday. Follow live updates here.
